Simple Spinach Chicken Salad

This recipe from Hunger Free Forever has been 'on the back burner' for some time now, waiting for just the right time to make an appearance at lunch or dinner.  It is lovely in its simplicity and also very versatile.  The chicken can be baked, grilled, or even canned... hot or cold.  You choose.  And you can certainly add more vegetables, seasonings, or even crumbled or shredded cheese.

I did make a couple of changes to the original recipe.  I added green onions, freshly ground pepper, and dried oregano.  And I reduced the amount of oil in the dressing, just a bit.
